Thank you for joining The Lowdown!

One newsletter. Five reasons to open it.

The Lowdown is built to be quick to read, easy to follow and genuinely useful — whether you’re a theme park fan, planning your next day out, or just want to stay ahead of what’s happening across parks, attractions and experiences.

The Lead Story

Every edition of The Lowdown opens with the story that matters most — whether that’s a major new ride announcement, a park expansion, a closure, a controversial change, or the sort of industry update that makes theme park fans immediately open five tabs and start speculating.

We’ll give you the key facts, what they actually mean, and the Turnstile Times take on why it’s worth paying attention to.

The Shortlist

Not every update needs a full deep dive, but that doesn’t mean it should get lost in the queue.

The Shortlist rounds up the other theme park, attraction and experience stories worth having on your radar — from opening dates and event announcements to ticket changes, resort updates, new food, fresh rumours and the occasional “hang on, they’re charging how much?” moment.

On The Tracks

The story to keep an eye on next — from upcoming openings and major decisions to developing trends across parks, attractions and experiences.

This Week on TT

E-Ticket Moment of the Week

Stay ahead of the stories shaping your next day out

Built for enthusiasts. Useful for everyone.

Theme park news moves quickly. New rides get announced, opening dates shift, events sell out, ticket offers change, and major decisions can affect the guest experience long before visitors arrive at the gates.

The Lowdown cuts through the noise with an exciting weekly briefing: the biggest stories, the useful details, and the Turnstile Times view on what it all means.

For fans, families, planners and curious travellers

The Lowdown is for anyone who loves a great day out. You might be following every new coaster announcement, planning a family trip, looking for better value, or simply wanting a smarter way to keep up with the world of parks, attractions and experiences.

No endless scrolling. No filler. Just the updates worth knowing.
